Chapter 645: The Japanese defeat Jilin! (4)
:.
Time passed by minute by minute. Platoon Commander Liu sat upright on the back of the stair handrail, at an angle of 70 degrees to the wall of the stairs. Sweat kept rolling down from his forehead, and several tentative attacks were hit by the Japanese!
The Japanese were condescending and had a natural advantage. Platoon Leader Liu almost got hit by the Japanese after several attacks. Fortunately, he made sufficient preparations, and several deceptive actions and the increasingly darker light in the corridor helped him.
The steel helmet that was pulled down from the Japanese's head was already penetrated. The two bullet holes in the front and back were penetrated by the same bullet. Fortunately, the steel helmet was thrown out at that time, otherwise the bullet would have penetrated through his head!
At this time, Xu Zhen, who was fighting fiercely with the Japanese, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. A few gunshots came from the attic on the commanding heights from time to time, and then there was no sound. Then there was gunshots. This was repeated and circulated, which was simply challenging his nerves!
The captain of the Japanese lieutenant was nothing. He ruled out the most elite team, but he had not been able to take the commanding heights yet. Hearing the gunshots, it means that there were still fighting inside, and there were Chinese soldiers alive!
This is not good news!
As the sun gradually sets westward, once it gets dark, the Japanese army will not have the advantage of terrain and territory. At night, there will be trouble.
It is easy to understand. The Eastern League has occupied this city for a week, and another week of things can't figure out the streets and houses in the city. Although the Japanese army has a guide, when they fight, the guide is either beaten to death or not know where they are going. Fortunately, some of the 9th Division were stationed in Jilin. When the 14th Division was dark, it turned out to be blind!
Even if God helps, there is moonlight. But after fighting on this day, I don’t know how many buildings I destroyed. Can it be compared with the daytime?
Therefore, the longer the time delays, the more unfavorable it will be for the Japanese army that attacked the city!
"What's going on? How did Hiro Okahara's offense have dropped?" Matsubu Naoki asked Major General Heiga Sadato with dissatisfaction.
"Maybe the attack was frustrated. Although these qina troops were not as good as those we fought against in Benxi, their fighting will is very tenacious. Judging from their tactical actions and tactics, it is certain that they have been on the battlefield, but they lack combat experience and have certain combat effectiveness!" said Shizuka Hirohira.
"I don't want to listen to your analysis of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. What I want is to occupy Jilin City, and completely occupy it before dark. Do you understand?"
"His division commander, our soldiers have been fighting and have now controlled half of the city. As long as we stabilize the current situation, we will definitely be able to take down Jilin City tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow, the military order I have made to Commander Muto is before the sun sets today!" Song Buzhiliang said angrily.
"Sir, this is impossible. According to the information, although the defenders are only in a brigade, the number of people exceeds 10,000, and the casualties are summarized. They have now killed up to 3,000 people, and at least 7,000 people. They are not yet at the point where they have ammunition and food, so..."
"Sir, I think we should change our tactics and not fight with the Chinese army inch by inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch inch in
"Ampe Zhongzuo, our troops have basically been put into it. In addition to the three corpses that fight head-on, the artillery brigade and the engineering brigade have joined the battle. Do you want to use our last strategic cavalry brigade?"
"His division commander, the cavalry brigade is not good at urban offensive and defensive warfare, and can only be used to cruise our wings to protect us from being attacked by sneak attacks. In fact, this is a huge flaw. We are now the attacking side, the Chinese defenders, and they use all their strength to resist our attacks. At this time, if a surprise attack appears and attacks from behind them, they will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese!" said Staff Ampe.
"Tell me about your plan, Ampe Zhongzuo!" Song Buzhi nodded.
"My plan is to order the cavalry brigade and an infantry brigade to move quietly here after nightfall. In the northeast corner of Jilin City, the cavalry dismounted and the infantry brigade quietly launched an attack on the Chinese army. According to our reconnaissance, this is the weakest place in the defense of the Chinese army. Only less than one company of soldiers were placed, according to their organization, at most one hundred and fifty people..."
"Major General Hiraki, what do you think?"
"This plan is feasible, but who will serve as the commander of this mixed brigade?" said Shizuko Heiga.
"Whoever proposes this plan, I see whoever can serve as the commander of this brigade."
"Ampe Zhongzou, what do you mean?"
"Ampe is willing to serve the division commander!" Ampei Zhongzuo was overjoyed. His opportunity to make achievements has come. If he can successfully attack, he will definitely make a big contribution to the merits that conquer Jilin.
"Report, Colonel Okahara urgently reported..."
"Colonel Okahara's method is good, but the Chinese are too cunning and actually evacuated the people in the city!"
"Your Excellency the division commander, maybe you can give it a try. If you really capture these common people, you might be able to force the Chinese army to voluntarily withdraw from Jilin City!" said Zhenzang of Pekhe.
"Will the Chinese retreat easily?" Song Buzhiliang glanced at the generals in the tent and asked coldly.
The corner of Heihe Zhenzang's mouth awkwardly, and the division commander was already angry. He not only wanted to occupy Jilin City, but also wanted to destroy the Chinese army in Jilin City!
Only by completely eliminating the Chinese army in Jilin City can we recover the humiliation that the 14th Division was defeated by a group of Chinese female soldiers in Benxi!
He wanted to use the heads of the Chinese army to pay tribute to the dead Yamato warriors!
So although he agreed with Hiroshi Okahara's approach, he did not want the Dongzong to retreat just now. He hoped that the other party could continue to fight him!
"Draw a squadron to go to Dongping Street to support Colonel Okahara, be sure to control the Chinese people in our hands!" Matsubu Naoki ordered.
"Hayi!"
"The command called, and the eighteen knots in Panshi have agreed to accept the recruitment of the Kanto Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire. The Chinese army that came to reinforce from Meihekou has been blocked. Please ask the commander of the Matsugi Division to be confident in commanding the capture of Jilin!"
"Yaoxi, the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department finally did something satisfactory this time!" Matsuki Naoki said with a smile.
"The reinforcements of the Chinese army were dragged out. Even if they came in a different direction, they would not arrive tomorrow morning as soon as possible, so we still have enough time!" Heiga Shizuka analyzed.
"Immediately, I'll send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that we have controlled most of Jilin City and are clearing out the remaining resistance forces of the Chinese army. We can complete the cleaning up by tomorrow morning and restore the traffic and public order in Jilin City!"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Is it a bit too early to report like this now?"
"It's getting late. Do you want me to commit suicide because I didn't complete the military order?" Song Buzhiliang glared at the communications officer and said.
"I don't dare!" The communications officer shrank suddenly in fear, and quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"You might as well go to the telegram!"
"Hayi!" As soon as the communications officer heard the amnesty, he hurried out of the command center.
Kanto Army Headquarters. Wuto Nobuyi, who was successfully recruited, took a nap for a while and his spirits were obviously relaxed a lot.
Kenyoshi Ueda has been in charge of the headquarters, constantly listening to reports coming from the front. Although he was recuperating, his spirits were very nervous!
This time the Chinese army was not easy to deal with. The tragic losses of the 9th Division ruined his face. If it weren't for his physical reasons, it wouldn't be Matsuki Naoki's turn to serve as the commander of this sneak attack on Jilin this time.
He looked like he saw with his own eyes how the difference between the Chinese army in Manchuria and the 19th Route Army he encountered in Shanghai?
Why are these two Chinese armies so capable? And the Ninth Division has suffered losses in their hands?
"Is there no rest for Ueda-kun?"
"No, as long as the war starts, I can't sleep. I'm old!" Kenji Ueda blinked his blood-shot eyes and explained.
"This is the battle report that the commander of Matsubu Naorayuki just came, look at it." Muto Nobuyoshi handed over a telegram.
"Oh, is that good news?"
"Of course!" Muto Nobuyoshi smiled happily. He received this good news as soon as he woke up. He was in a good mood.
"Let me see..." Kenji Ueda took the message, browsed it, and said with a hint of surprise, "Has the commander of the Songbu Division captured Jilin?"
"Although he did not fully capture it, the military order he issued was fulfilled, and Jilin City was back in our hands!" Muto Nobuyi said happily.
"Is the content of the telegram true?" asked Kenyoshi Ueda.
"What, Ueda Jun thinks Matsubujun will lie about military affairs?" Muto Nobuyoshi said in surprise.
"No, no, I just felt a little surprised. Before, Song Bujun attacked Benxi, and it was difficult to shake it for more than a month. In the end, he suffered a big loss. But now, it took a day to take down Jilin City. This is a bit..."
"Our army suddenly launched an attack. The Chinese army was not prepared and lost all its advantages. It was only a matter of time before failure. Moreover, the Chinese army in Jilin City was different from the Chinese army in Benxi!" Muto Shinyi said without caring.
"Why are they different? Don't they belong to this anti-Japanese armed force called Dongzong?" Kenji Ueda asked strangely.
"Although they are all affiliated with the Dongzong, the one guarding Benxi is the elite main force of the Dongzong, and its combat effectiveness is almost no less than that of the original elite troops of the Northeast Army. The one guarding Jilin is just adapted from local garrison troops, and its combat effectiveness is greatly inferior. In addition, they have also recruited a group of new recruits. How effective can the new recruits be? Is it worth mentioning?" Muto Nobuyoshi explained.
"So that's the case. No wonder Matsu Bujun achieved such a record easily!" Kenyoshi Ueda said enviously.
"Although it is not the main force, the fight is still tenacious. Matsubujun is also worried that if Dongzong continues to develop like this, the Japanese Empire will have a huge threat to the actual control of Manchuria!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.
"What good solution is the Commander?"
"To completely occupy Manchuria and incorporate it into the empire's territory, military means are second to the control of economy and culture. The economy is gradually being promoted. The newly established Manchuria Central Bank is the first step for the empire to control Manchuria's finance. Next, there is education. All Manchuria schools must implement bilingual Japanese and Chinese teaching, with the assessment mainly Japanese and immigrants, and encourage intermarriages of Japanese, Manchu and Han ethnic groups, among which the most important is the most important!" Muto Nobuyoshi said ambitiously. (To be continued...)
